Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’ve decided to take action, read the following first.

S is for specific (具體的): For example, instead of setting a goal (目標(biāo)): of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.

M is for measurable (可測(cè)量的): Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.

A is for achievable(可完成的): If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.

R is for relevant (恰當(dāng)?shù)?: Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.

T is for time-conscious (心中有數(shù)的): Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.

Mindfulness Matters

In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦慮), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.

Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety.

Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.

Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)? enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.

Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.

1.Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?

A. To control students’ working memory.

B. To reduce students’ stress and anxiety.

C. To increase students’ attendance rates.

D. To research students’ thoughts and feelings.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.

B. Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.

C. Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.

D. Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.

3.The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_____”.

A. challenges B. complaints C. advantages D. influences

4.The writer probably agrees that ______.

A. further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training

B. students will become more talented with mindfulness training

C. doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training

D. mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二維碼）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使產(chǎn)生） the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,”said Guo.“When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone. ”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（掃描） his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.”said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,”Guo said.“It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

1.Guo’s students think the new way is _____.

A. Important B. interesting C. strange D. boring

2.Some parents are worried, because they think their children will _____.

A. talk with their teacher face to face

B. find the QR codes too difficult to use

C. hate the new way of handing in homework

D. spend too much time on computers or phones

3.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Some parents are worried about their children.

B. Teachers don’t need to check homework any more.

C. Using QR codes makes checking homework easier.

D. Students don’t need to hand in homework any more.
